CRU - Nepal y Ruanda

La Coalici�n por la Corte Penal Internacional le solicita a Nepal y Ruanda que se unan al Estatuto de Roma de la CPI lo antes posible.

NEPAL

Mientras el mundo celebra el d�cimo aniversario de la Corte, la Coalici�n quiere pedirle al gobierno de Nepal que maximice las oportunidades de este per�odo de transici�n y finalice el proceso iniciado en 2006 para adherir al Estatuto de Roma.

Al unirse a la Corte, el gobierno de Nepal preparar� el camino para instaurar una cultura de justicia y confianza entre su gente. Por otro lado, la adhesi�n de Nepal al Estatuto de Roma aumentar� la representaci�n de la regi�n asi�tica ante la CPI.

RUANDA

La Coalici�n le pide al gobierno de Ruanda que aproveche este momento hist�rico de democracia para acelerar sus iniciativas en pos de la adhesi�n del pa�s al Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI), lo que incluye en el corto plazo la ratificaci�n del proyecto de implementaci�n del Estatuto de Roma.

La adhesi�n de Ruanda al Estatuto de Roma fortalecer� la voz de Asia dentro del sistema y contribuir� a lograr una participaci�n significativa para asegurar que la CPI defienda y promueva el esp�ritu del Estatuto de Roma.

Por ello, la Coalici�n quiere instar a Nepal y Ruanda a unirse al Estatuto de Roma y apoyar plenamente a la primera corte permanente e independiente capaz de investigar y llevar ante la justicia a los autores de las violaciones m�s serias al derecho internacional, como los cr�menes de guerra, cr�menes de lesa humanidad y genocidio.

Your Excellency:

I am writing to urge you to ensure Nepal�s accession to the Rome Statute of the ICC as soon as possible. 2012 marks the tenth anniversary of the Court, truly a celebration of a landmark institution which, despite various obstacles and challenges, is one of the most important achievements in international law together with the establishment of the United Nations. With 121 State Parties, following the most recent accession by Guatemala in April 2012, and the Court�s seven open investigations in the Central African Republic, Cote d�Ivoire, Darfur, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Libya, and Uganda, the support of the international community is today more crucial than ever. The ICC has become a major pillar of international justice, aiming to ensure that the most serious international crimes do not go unpunished.

Nepalese society is currently undergoing an important debate on transitional justice. Addressing past human rights violations and consolidating peace processes remain a challenge in many countries. Notwithstanding, international and transitional justice mechanisms can work hand in hand to construct a culture of justice and rule of law that aims to address gross human rights violations. Nepal has provided important signals of its commitment to international justice and the fight against impunity. In addition to having ratified a number of human rights treaties, as well as the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the House of Representatives adopted a proposal to accede to the Rome Statute. However, while accession to the Rome Statute has been an agenda item since February 2009, Nepal has yet to take solid steps toward finalizing this process.

The Court�s jurisdiction is not only retroactive, but is also based on the principle of complementarity, which recognizes that national jurisdictions have the primary responsibility to investigate and prosecute crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the Court. This jurisdictional structure was designed to strengthen and support national judicial systems in their task of seeking justice for victims of gross human rights violations.

Your Excellency, the Asian region cannot be left behind in this system of international justice. With only 9 states in Asia having ratified the Rome Statute, the support of Nepal is important to raising the Asian continent�s representation within the Court and re-affirming the continent�s commitment to the global fight against impunity.�The accession of Nepal is critical in the Court�s efforts to end impunity, strengthen the rule of law, and promote human rights. The government of Nepal has demonstrated commitment to these goals in the past, and moving forward, the swift accession to the Rome Statute would be a key step in following through with this commitment.

I urge your Excellency to use your good offices to ensure Nepal�s accession to the Rome Statute as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Your Excellency,

I am writing today to respectfully urge you and the Rwandan government to accede to the Rome Statute as soon as possible. During this tenth anniversary of the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC), it is more important than ever to prioritize international justice and fight towards making the ICC an international tribunal that is truly fair, effective and indepdent.

Your participation was gladly noted at several sessions of the Assembly of State Parties of the ICC, as well as your attendance and contributions to debates and sessions during the first Review Conference of the Rome Statute, held in Kampala, Uganda from 31 May to 11 June 2010. While these signs of progress are certainly welcome, concrete steps towards accession have not yet been made. I would encourage you to take this participation further by actively speaking out about the vital importance of the rule of law and supporting action by the Rwandan government to accede to the Rome Statute of the ICC.

In doing so, Rwanda would send a strong message about its commitment to the pursuit of international justice to the global community. The ICC, along with the United Nations, has been tirelessly dedicated to advocating for the rule of law in matters of conflict resolution and prevention, instead of resorting to armed violence. Accession to the Rome Statute would further indicate Rwanda�s commitment to the promotion of human rights and cooperation in international processes against heinous crimes.

Your Excellency, I strongly urge you to push forward the necessary legislation for acceding and implementing the Rome Statute. Recognizing that the ICC works alongside national justice processes to complement them instead of replacing them, I support the continuance of this fight against impunity through joining the ICC. Despite various obstacles in this process, I am confident that strengthening the rule of law through the ICC is worth any challenges that may arise.

I urge Your Excellency to use your good offices to ensure Rwanda�s accession to the Rome Statute as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Env�e su carta a:
